morning kids rapper
Since I was a kid, I'd wake up every morning hearing a voice say, 'You're the greatest rapper ever.' I'm trying to prove that voice right.
people guy too-much
I don't really feel famous. I'm just an internet guy. I walk down the street and people don't really mess with me too much. I still have my life.
song two lasts
If I'm over a song two weeks after I made it, I'm not going to put it out. It has to last months.
people want neighborhood
I'm from my hood, and everybody knows me in my neighborhood, and that's cool, I can do what I want over there, but in other people's neighborhoods, I can't.
labels want reason
The reason I never wanted to sign with a big label was because I didn't want no one telling me how to make my music.
use internet
I use the Internet for what it's for: to learn.
marketing peers stranger
90% trust peers on social networks (even strangers); only 15-18% trust brands.
new-york home thinking
I think me leaving Detroit shaped my style. Me leaving, going to New York, going to L.A. and seeing what they were doing there. I think that inspired me more than what people were doing back home.
judging people matter
I like seeing people that are into my music, it shows me that it doesn't matter, you can't judge a person based on how they look, and that's just how my music is.
jobs people trying
There's no downside to traveling the world and making money. I'm doing something I love. A lot of people have sucky jobs, but I have a good one, and I'm not trying to lose it any time soon.
cities people want
To be acknowledged outside of my city is amazing to me, because I don't really feel like I did nothing distasteful. I made the music I want to make, and people started to like it.
thinking littles detroit
I love Michigan, to be honest. I don't think I'd live nowhere else. It's cheap! This is Detroit. A little bit of nothing gets you a lot of something.
crazy dope suits
I'll be getting all types of crazy fans, from the hoodest dude to the straight-up dude in a business suit. It's dope. I have a crazy wide-range fan base.
real long records
There was a long time in my life where I made music that I thought my friends would like, or that I thought would get me a record deal, or what I thought I was supposed to make because that's what I was seeing in mainstream. I didn't know myself; I didn't find myself musically or, in real life.
